While searching for a restaurant in Cheonggyecheon,

I visited Payhonglou Euljiro with my family for a special dinner.

Located on Cheonggyecheon-ro in Jung-gu, Seoul,

it was conveniently accessible from Euljiro, Jongno, and Myeongdong.

We enjoyed the signature Peking duck and a variety of Chinese dishes,

and the calm atmosphere with private rooms made it perfect for family gatherings.

Upon descending to the basement level,

we found a quiet and organized space, contrasting with the bustling city above.

Open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM,

there's a break time on weekdays from 3 PM to 5 PM.

The space is great for private gatherings.

Among the restaurants in Cheonggyecheon,

the interior was not crowded,

creating a comfortable first impression.

The spacious seating arrangement allowed for uninterrupted conversations,

even with a larger group.

The private rooms were suitable for occasions like

first birthday parties, family meetings, or important gatherings.

It would be a nice place to celebrate a child's first birthday

or to have both sets of parents together.

The signature Peking duck was the highlight of our meal.

With thin, crispy skin and moist, tender meat,

the contrast in texture was remarkable.

Served in bite-sized pieces,

it was easy to share among the group.

Wrapping the duck and vegetables in a light pancake,

the rich flavors were balanced and not overwhelming.

Even without much sauce,

the unique flavor of the duck stood out,

making it a recommended dish for anyone visiting Cheonggyecheon.

The onion butter sweet and sour pork had a crispy coating

with a subtle butter aroma.

The sweet and sour sauce combined with the onion

added a unique twist to the familiar dish.

The black garlic sweet and sour pork had a sweet yet

mild garlic flavor, and the meat was tender.

The orange cream shrimp brought a refreshing citrus note

to the plump shrimp, enhancing the overall experience.

The macadamia spicy chicken paired well with the sweet and spicy sauce.

There were plenty of options for main dishes as well.

The truffle steak black bean noodles featured a rich black bean sauce

with a hint of truffle,

while the thick steak added a hearty touch.

The beef jjampong had a deep meat flavor

with a spicy broth that was not overly aggressive.

The fried rice was fluffy with a subtle smoky aroma.

The stone pot beef nurungji soup combined hot sauce with crispy rice,

offering both crunch and softness.

Having a variety of Chinese dishes on one table made it easy

for family members with different tastes to choose their favorites.

With options ranging from light dishes like oyster sauce bok choy

to the rich sweet and sour pork,

it was perfect for group dining.

The ability to reserve a table and park easily, along with the corkage fee being free,

makes it a practical choice for family gatherings or celebrations.

Overall, the crispy and moist Peking duck,

along with the well-prepared dishes,

created a natural flow throughout the meal.

For those considering a restaurant in Cheonggyecheon,

this place is ideal for both food and ambiance.

It’s a great choice for family outings,

first birthdays, anniversaries, or quiet business dinners.
